Things to do in Cape Cod, Cape Cod: The Best Historic Walking Areas

April 29, 2022 Elouise Mccaul

The Atlantic crashes on a coastline strewn with quaint harbors, windswept beaches, glorious dunes and blinking lighthouses. Explore Cape Cod National Seashore, bike past cranberry bogs on the Rail Trail or saunter around Sandwich, the Cape's oldest town. Many areas are architectural and culinary gems - full of weathered shingles, whaling captains' mansions, chowder shacks and upscale dining delights. Don't miss Woods Hole Oceanquest, famed Martha's Vineyard or charmingly upbeat Provincetown.

There are various trails here. We really enjoyed the trail which had a boardwalk! It was nice and wide, scenic and led down to the water. We enjoyed the other trails as well. It is a great walk to do as a family!

Cornelia Carey Sanctuary (The Knob)

Before you go.. there is very limited parking. Please try to walk or bike there for a visit. No large gatherings, events or functions are allowed on the Knob property. Nature trails run among the beach, rock and trees of this hidden shelter. Please leave the property as you found it. Dogs are allowed but only on leash. Please clean-up after your dog. This is a non-smoking property.

You won't just discover this place. Even when you park, you will have to search for the path through the "tunnel" to entrance. A very unique vista of buzzard bay all year round.TAKE THE RIGHT ST THE FORK!

We really enjoyed the flat hiking trails here. The views are great and well worth the entry fee which supports the Mass Audubon Society

Bass Hole Boardwalk

Reviewed By 428Yun

A friend strongly recommended this place as their must-go spot every year so we stopped by today on our way back to Boston. I think it’s one of the best kept secret on the Cape! Beautiful marsh and view! Wish there was kayak rental close by but then that might ruin the peacefulness here. Will definitely come back in the future to watch the sunset.
